Abstract Art Australia
A Guide to Finding the Right Piece
Why abstract art continues to define the Australian interior
Abstract art brings colour, movement and meaning to a wall without prescribing a single narrative. At Olive et Oriel, our abstract art Australia collection spans gestural brushwork, geometric precision and soft watercolour abstraction — all produced in-house on of NSW and shipped within 24 hours.
Choosing abstract art is ultimately about emotional response. A bold composition in ochre and charcoal can anchor a neutral living room. A soft blurred abstraction in blush and sage brings warmth to a bedroom. Browse our wall art collection and our contemporary wall art range for curated pairings that work together naturally.
How to choose abstract art that works with your interior
The most effective abstract art prints respond to the room they inhabit. Start with scale — a feature wall print should be roughly two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. For a living room sofa, that typically means 60x90cm or larger. For a bedhead, a wider landscape-format print of 90x48cm creates the most satisfying proportion.
Colour is the second consideration. Abstract art gives you creative freedom because it is not representational — you are not limited to images that literally depict what the room contains. A print with a single accent colour already present in your furnishings ties the room together without being literal. Our earthy tones collection is popular in Australian homes where warm neutrals and terracotta tend to dominate.
Consider the medium carefully. Our abstract art is available as canvas prints, fine art paper prints and framed prints. Canvas gives depth and a painterly quality that suits expressive, gestural abstracts. Framed prints bring refinement and work well in contemporary interiors. Unframed fine art prints are versatile and can be placed in any standard clip or timber frame.

Abstract art by room type
Living rooms suit large, bold abstracts with a clear focal colour — 60x90cm or more above a sofa creates an immediate visual anchor.
Bedrooms benefit from softer, more diffused abstracts in muted tones. A minimalist abstract in warm neutrals above a bed creates calm without visual noise.
Home offices suit minimal geometric abstracts in neutral tones — purposeful and focused. Hallways benefit from portrait-format abstracts that fill vertical space without crowding a narrow passage.
Abstract art styles in the Olive et Oriel collection
Our abstract collection covers the full spectrum from gestural expressionism to hard-edge geometric precision. Soft atmospheric watercolour abstracts share our catalogue with graphic, illustrative pieces and bold colour-field compositions. Whether your home is minimalist, maximalist, Scandi or coastal, there is abstract art in our range that fits naturally and feels genuinely at home.
Our earthy tones abstracts are among our most consistently popular, reflecting the broad Australian preference for warm, grounded palettes: terracotta, ochre, sage, burnt sienna and warm white. For something more dramatic, our bold colourful abstracts bring vivid intensity and visual energy to any room.
Abstract art at Olive et Oriel is available individually or as curated sets — pairs, triptychs and larger groupings that work as a cohesive gallery wall. A consistent palette across varying formats and sizes creates rhythm and depth without feeling chaotic or over-designed.

Frequently asked questions
What size abstract art print works best in a living room?
For most living rooms, a single print at 60x90cm or 70x100cm above the sofa is ideal. The artwork should span roughly two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. For larger walls, consider a pair of prints or a triptych.
Can I order abstract art in custom sizes?
Canvas prints can be ordered in custom dimensions. Contact help@oliveetoriel.com to discuss specific requirements.
What frame suits abstract art prints?
Simple white, black or solid timber frame with oak finishs suit most abstract prints. For bold saturated abstracts, a black frame adds contrast. For soft muted pieces, white or oak finish keeps the palette cohesive.
